Mollie and Nick Krawitz, of Bishop Street

 
Tell us a little bit about yourselves.
Mollie works for a translation company, doing quality assurance on medical deice translations. Nick makes replica vintage baseball garments (like wool jerseys and caps) on 1900s sewing machines, and does research for the Friends of Historic Hamtramck Stadium nonprofit. We moved here to EEV in December 2021, with our big fluffy cat Morgan. 
 
What brought you to East English Village?
Mollie is originally from a small town in the Poconos called Stroudsburg, not ar from Scranton, PA.  And Nick is originally from Lowell, MA. We were both ready to move and set down roots somewhere new.  Nick had been to Detroit a few times, and was drawn to it for it’s baseball history and architecture.  We came to look at EEV after hearing so many great things about this neighborhood - once we looked at our house, we fell in love with the area and knew this was where we wanted to be.

What are your favorite things to do here in the neighborhood?
We love doing DIY restorations to our 1933 house - for example, recently re-grouting the original tile shower.  It was a huge undertaking but so rewarding when we finished!  When the season is right, we’ll catch baseball and hockey games. Mollie is an avid knitter.  And we often can be found working in our garden, while Morgan watches birds and squirrels through the window.  Feel free to wave and say hello!

What has been one of your favorite EEV moments since living here?
The Garden Tour has been one of the highlights for us so far.  It was lovely getting to meet new people and see the incredible gardens they’ve nurtured over the years.  It gave us some great inspiration for our own yard!

What is your biggest hope for EEV?
Our hope is that it continues to thrive and be a welcoming community to everyone.  There’s nowhere else we’d rather live, and we’re looking forward to contributing more to this wonderful neighborhood we call home.
